Yes, Ruby, just to be with my things, my photos, and my kitty cats...LOL!!

I missed chatting with y'all. I could not take my supps and had only my husbo and daughter to talk to about AF support. They kept trying to give me drugs - which I refused!
I used ice packs instead for my legs, which did not help much. They kept saying "oh, take this or that, just this once - it's a controlled environment here". I know if I had taken anything, I would have drank when I came home. I just know it. And it's in my file about all the drugs because AL abuse in the past. Crazy...

Thanks everyone!! I know you all understand and care :h

Now, back to Christmas. Ruby, I like your holiday thread. We need to start sharing recipes. It will be fun to see what's around the world!

Kap, what kind of traditions do you have in sunny NZ that are different from our cold place ones?

GOD - Back in May of this year, Vea and I had an horriffic motorbike accident, we were both extremely drunk, no helmets etc. This is why he is in prison. ANyway, when I regaind consciousness, I couldnt feel my legs. They gave me morph in A & E, and as soon as I was transferred to a ward, I was into my vodka. F**KING MADNESS - that is alcoholism. I couldnt walk for two weeks. IT was very scary. It is a miracle we both survived. THe MADDEST part of all was I continued drinking on and off til very recently.
Thank you all for your support and LTG - you must have incredible reserves of strength to refuse the pain relief. I admire you.

Often we have bbqs on CHristmas day, otherwise it is fairly standard! Trees, carols, pressies, booze, Lalalalala.

Thanks, Kap. It was hard as hell but hey, I am not drinking today!!! I knew from past experience that I would have lapsed so perhaps that memory is strong than I realized
